If you’re planning to cut your energy bills and help the climate by getting solar panels on your roof, you’ll want to know exactly how much electricity they can produce and which is the most efficient solar panel.
Learning about solar panel output can also help you pick the right-sized system, reducing solar panel costs in the long run.
Fortunately, we’ve got you covered with our solar panel output calculator.
This tool will instantly provide you with the amount of electricity that your chosen panels will produce in your region, and the roof space that they’ll take up.
Just choose your region, the number of solar panels you’re looking to get, and the panels’ peak power, and you’ll immediately find out how much electricity your solar panel system will produce each year, on average.

Max joined The Eco Experts as content manager in February 2024. He has written about sustainability issues across numerous industries, including maritime, supply chain, finance, mining, and retail. He has also written extensively for consumer titles like City AM, The Morning Star, and The Daily Express.
In 2020, he covered in detail the International Maritime Organisation’s (IMO) legislation on sulphur emissions and its effects on the global container shipping market as online editor of Port Technology International.
He also explored the initiatives major container ports and terminals have launched in order to ship vital goods across the world without polluting the environment.
Since then, he has reported heavily on the impact made by environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices on the supply chain of minerals, with a particular focus on rare earth mining in Africa.
As part of this, in 2022 Max visited mines and ports in Angola to hone in on the challenges being faced by one of the world’s biggest producers of rare earth minerals.
His most recent sustainability-related work came much closer to home, as he investigated the eco-challenges faced by independent retailers in the UK, specifically looking at how they can cut emissions and continue to thrive.
Max lives in South London and is an avid reader of books on modern history and ghost stories. He has also recently learned to play the game Mahjong and takes every opportunity to do so. He is also yet to find a sport he doesn’t enjoy watching.
